March meeting minutes approved.

Crafts Fair: Barb Krieger

$425 to rent Collis common ground because we are a "non-profit"
Other alternatives: Hop & Alumni Hall, no fee except set up costs, guesstimate less than $200
date is on tentative hold
downsides: no parking for unloading, not on the way to anything which will cut down on student traffic.
upsides: bigger, possibly have more vendors
No extra money from administration to help with cost of Collis
Danada: there has been a huge increase in scholarship payouts, so we need this fundraiser
Goodie: have a raffle or something to raise funds to pay for Collis
Group voted to keep the craft fair in Collis and do a fund raiser, Marianne volunteered to organize
Barb Krieger believes that this issue will have to be revisited in the future, reason for such a price increase is that administration wants Collis to be for student activities only

Social Committee: Marianne, Joyce not present

EBA's: $881 based on 110 people, includes buffet, soup & salad bar + tax and gratuity
Need a headcount, estimate about 100
Have at the end of May, beginning of June
Need a week/week and a half notice for EBA's

Welfare: Julie McIntyre

two plants
Received request for flowers for Lisa Ladd's son, but guidelines say staff not family
Acknowledge staff out on family leave? Issue of where to draw the line
Group agrees that guidelines are ok and should be followed

Program: Goodie Corriveau

Baseball activity didn't happen
College sponsored tunnel tours in the Spring
Raffle at EBA's pizza lunch, Blue Sky Group and King Arthur are usually generous, L.L. Bean tote

Karen: idea for another tour, maybe of Kresge murals in Geography dept.

DCLSA doesn't have to organize or pay for, they just want to share time

Danada: gather questions and issues, email to Karen
